According to your version of instrument panel, the start of
saturation of the par ticle emissions filter is indicated by:

- fixed illumination of the par ticleemissions filter warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal, or

- temporary illumination of
the ser vice warning lamp,

As soon as the traffic conditions permit, regenerate
the filter by driving at a speed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, refer to the "Additivelevel" section.

12 V battery

The battery does not require anymaintenance.
However, check that the terminals
are clean and correctly tightened,
particularly in summer and winter.
The presence of this label, in particular with
the Stop & Star t s
ystem, indicates the use of a specific 12 V lead-acid battery with special
technology and specification. The involvement
of a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop isessential when replacing or disconnecting the battery. When carr
ying out work on the battery, refer
to the "12 V battery" section for details of theprecautions to be taken before disconnecting
the battery and following its reconnection. Unless other wise indicated, check these components in accordance with the MAINTENANCE AND WARR ANT Y GUIDE and accordin
g to your engine.
Other wise, have them checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
On a new vehicle, the first operations of regeneration of the par ticle emissions filter may be accompanied by the smellof "burning", which is per fectly normal. Following prolonged operation of the vehicle at very low speed or at idle, you may, in exceptional circumstances,notice the emission of water vapour at the exhaust on acceleration. This does not affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the environment.
